PERMIT THE NOBLE NILE TO DESCEND UPON THE UNDERWORLD

Nile’s new song, “Permitting the Noble Dead to Descend to the Underworld,” may have the longest title, like, ev-er, but that doesn’t make it any less stellar.

Back in May, the mighty Karl Sanders told me that the new Nile album, Those Whom the Gods Detest, would be “going in lots of different directions,” and would be less “straight ahead death metal.” This song is certainly heavy as a really heavy thing, but I can also definitely see what Sanders was getting at – it’s only just barely traditionalist American death metal.

Check the song out here. Those Whom the Gods Detest drops November 3 on Nuclear Blast.
